Controlling a dog that is being trained to attack is essential. Fact is some dogs are not suitable for such training. Some dogs are just not suitable to be pets either. The owner or trainer of course has a role in how the dog turns out. But just like some people, some dogs are not redeemable.
The breed i use is very submissive to the owner and members of the house hold. I will put in the way one of group members said it was with his family in Texas that had an exceptional family line of bulldogs. If the dog did not measure up it got buried behind the barn. A big thing in producing good dogs is culling. Now days neutering might be enough. I just would not put up with my dog biting me or my guests. A dog is a companion, guardian, but it must measure up. My dogs came from far away showing that I valued them highly. When I had a few pups, one fellow drove in from Nashville and another came from south Texas. The owner of the stud came in from Georgia
Point is there are too many poorly bred dogs that are capable of doing great harm. A dog that goes after a young child needs to be put down ASAP. It is not uncommon for many of the so called protective breeds to go after family members.
